Team Cuba Reunion!
Beyond Salsa Piano Vol. 3 Available in Hard-Copy
Volume 3 of the Beyond Salsa Piano series is now available in Hard-Copy at CreateSpace.com.
Another milestone! Full details on the status page.
Volume 4 in eBook will be out within a week.
The revised version of Vol. 1, by the way, is already available in eBook form and its hard-copy version will go back online Wednesday.
Volume 3 of Beyond Salsa Piano Live on LPM
Volume 3 is now available in eBook and audio formats at LPM.
This one picks up the story after the Cuban Revolution. While 1950s Cuban music was thriving in New York as "salsa", the Cubans on the island continued to evolve in a variety of eclectic directions.
Volumes 3 and 4 can be thought of as companions to timba.com's free online book The Roots of Timba, covering the same period from the pianist's point of view and paying special attention to Los Van Van, Ritmo Oriental, Irakere, Aragón, Los Maravillas de Florida, Orquesta 440, Opus 13, and Nueva Generación, the predecessor to NG La Banda.
Volume 3 also covers pilón, mozambique, and extensive appendix on Afro-Cuban folkloric rhythms
All told there are 106 audio files covering a wide range of tumbaos and exercises for feeling folkloric rhythms correctly.
Click here for a quick preview - and here to download the eBook and audio.
Alfredo Rodríguez at Yoshi's
Tuesday January 26th - Yoshi's San Francisco
Unfortunately the great master pianist many of us were lucky enough to see with Cubanismo has not come back from the dead, but the young and very much alive Alfredo Rodríguez is well worthy of his famous name. Tom saw him at the 2009 Monterery Jazz Festival and was completely blown away. Next Tuesday.
